For a car like that I wouldn't even do reversible mods. Only invisible ones. Like a clean, hidden grill block, change the intake as suggested, add a belly pan and then use your SG and adjust how you drive. You saw you can get above 30 pretty easy, well once you do this more and more or really get used to a particular route (like your commute) you will start to see other places you can take advantage. Like start coasting further back or just get used to going a bit slower, etc, etc. I realize that's not the same as Aeromods but it can be just as rewarding.

I still want a controlled grill block/HAI that based on engine demand opens up and allows cool air. It'd be almost like displacement on demand when it comes to fuel packing and VE.
